One checkbox isn't enough to give full flexibility.
Personally I would like system like this:

if template field is empty
:if metadata field doesnt exist
::do nothing, even don't create those field
:if metadata field exist and is empty
::do nothing
:if metadata field exist and is not empty
::do nothing
if template field is not empty
:if metadata field doesnt exist
::create field and fill it
:if metadata field exist and is empty
::fill this field
:if metadata field exists and is not empty
::if use "Apply"[*] action
:::replace contents of metadata field with template
::if use "Add"[*] action
:::ignore this field (existing metadata overcomes template metadata)
::if use "Append"[*] action
:::add content of template field after existing content

[*] In all other cases behavior of these three buttons is the same. Note: those
buttons would be in Caption->Information panel, not templates configuration
dialog. In this way one template could be used in various ways.

This doesn't give full flexibility - this can be only achieved by adding menu
after each template field dropdown menu with choices like: Ignore, Replace, Add
after, Insert before which could considerably increase complexity of interface.
